how i quit kratom part I (overview)

Everyone is different, but this is how I quit kratom. This is part I, and is a general overview of the process. In part II, I will go into more detail about different things, and am considering making more videos individually about important things I did and learned during the quitting process.
Ps this is one of my first videos in front of the camera, so I’m still getting used to it lol. Check out my latest vids where I’m a lot more comfortable :)

[@jds6014]

Just finished my taper, took 28 days. Took 40+ a day for 12 years. Been 3 days with no kratom and my brain is finally starting to began to normalize. Thanks for sharing. I was such a slave for kratom and it is so weird not having it with me everyday. If anyone starts a taper start taking black seed oil, it tricks your brain into thinking your getting more kratom.

[@carebear3657]

Hi I'm in kratom addiction right now and I really need prayer. A part of me really wants to quit this stuff. But another part of me doesn't. I'm a believer and I know God wants me to get off. Pray that God will give me strength to do it. Also I need to quit smoking and overeating. I feel like I have no self control. 😕 thank you for your channel. GOD BLESS ❤️

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey Mitchell, I’d be honored to pray for you. For your freedom, and for God to be your strength. Please remember that He is faithful, and that ALL things are possible with Him. I can relate to where you’re at and how you feel dealing with multiple addictions and unhealthy ways of living. Along with my kratom addiction, I had a 15 year weed and coffee addiction as well. I know the feeling of part of me wanting to get off and another wanting to stay. Please be encouraged that it’s possible to be free.

If you really want to quit that bad just slowly decrease your dose week by week until you are mentally prepared to quit.

Quit Kratom on a 3 day cross country trip. Drove from Texas to Pennsylvania and by the third day I was arriving in Pa, sober. Lots of sweating, headaches and sleeplessness. I was addicted for 5 years, typically took about 50 grams daily,

[@JeremyPezzeca]

50 years old. 30 grams a day for 10 years. I totally relate to every word you say. I want nothing more to come off this. I have isolated myself from the world and there is no real joy anymore. Its always looking forward to the next dose and the dose doesn't do what it used to do. It did at one time help. Its now the reverse effect. Today is my first day off. Im 19 hours in. Contemplating tapering instead of cold turkey. Cold turkey after 10 years could potentially be too intense. I need to be able to function. Thank God im not working. Couldn't come off and work at same time. This particular video has been so uplifting. Ive been scouring youtube looking for the right video. This is it. You totally understand and i know you care. Im so excited to have hope that the best is yet to come after im over the mountain. You know what sucks is all my neighbors are nosey and wondering why im not leaving the house or coming outside. Im usually a busy body. Its very obvious something is wrong with me. Not that i care but at the same time i do because i have to coexist with these people in the same vicinity so its quite awkward

[@kylexlittle]

/r/quittingkratom is a great resource for anyone wanting to quit. Don't let the symptoms described by other put you off, it only takes 1 week of serious pain and misery and months if not years of patience with yourself and your body recovering. Great videos Grace, really inspirational!

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Thanks again, Kyle! For sure- everyone’s process is different. I think I’m an extreme case due to the damage that was done during my addiction compiled with stress that was going on at the time. So it may have taken me longer than others to get back to normal. I’ve seen people on the QK subreddit feeling perfect after a cpl weeks, so my experience may not be to common.

[@loveistheanswer5924]

For me the immensely pain lasted 26 days then I start using it again!... 😪

[@xJ44x]

Love the vibes & the straight forwardness. I’m on my 8th+ time trying to quit CT, from 40+ gpd. Tapering just doesn’t work for me. This is the farthest I’ve made it & these type of videos really help. I’m on day 7 & it’s starting to get better. The worst for me was I got the Flu after quitting & lost my taste. I feel like that’s holding me back a lot in eating & healing. Once I can taste again though I feel like it’s all uphill & I can’t wait. I don’t crave it at all with how shitty I’ve felt the whole week & that’s why I don’t ever want to go back this time. Thanks for the awesome vibes! 💞

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey! So glad you’ve made it here and congrats on 8 days free! You’re doing awesome!!! Dude I got sick right after I quit, too :( hope you get better soon! You’re appetite will come back full force, I promise! That’s great you’re not having any cravings, I also felt so bad at the end of my addiction and after quitting that I never wanted to go back!

[@lilianaeng7821]

Ive done it off and on for 8 or so years, with several large breaks, (like a year plus) Smaller doses and physical activity are key if you are going to partake. And taper off about once a year for a while. Should never get to these high doses...its where all the negatives take over. Constipation and the post euphoric " bitchy period " are the downsides if you dont remain active on it, and suppliment with hydration and natural laxitives like prune juice? ect....either way good on you to quit! Sobriety and exercise is always king!

[@DawnGodsgirl1021]

So grateful for your video today I have been a Christian for 30 yrs and have been taking kratom this past yr it helped me to get off pain meds but the Lord also helped now I'm hooked on this crap and have been desiring to get this out of my life now to and praying that the lack of intimacy I feel with my savior will come back fully as I take those journey out of this addiction to. I will definitely have to taper because I take a lot at this point and the withdrawals are basically the same as getting off the pain meds it sounds like but I will be doing it with the Lord help please pray for me and I'm so blessed that you have a relationship with the absolutely best one true living and unconditional loving Father God and our beautiful savior Jesus and I can't leave out Holy Spirit but truly thank you

[@jethrohetero4990]

She’s right about relapse and abstinence. It’s a slippery slope for sure. After years of heroin abuse which actually started out as kratom abuse, i used kratom first then moved on to heroin and fentanyl. Anyways I tried kicking the harder ones made it about a week and at that point kratom began to work again so I made the switch. Continued with that for over a year, all said probably a decade of mixed opioid abuse. I really thought something else was wrong with me when my health began failing because during the initial three to four years of kratom addiction besides understanding I was now addicted and would get sick without I didn’t notice any negative effects. Finally I admitted that was what was causing my problem, tried tapering several times failing miserably for about six months. This was the worst period for me mentally and emotionally. I went to spend a few weeks with my mom In AR where in couldnt get it, quit cold turkey. Really fucking intense, almost as bad as that week when I went cold on heroin. I came home too soon wasn’t fit to work yet physically and after only a few days I was taking it once a day again. Just in the morning, I didn’t get sick when it wore off but it literally took less than a month for me to be right back in it. That was my breaking point. I seriously thought there was mo way out other than death. I was so ashamed I had just done a detox at my moms house as a forty year old man and here I was again. What was I going to donInthought fuck I fucked this up I need to be in a treatment center, donI call a suicide hotline and try to gwt commited? At that point I believe God stepped in because all the sudden it quit working. I woukd take some and the withdrawals got worse. That was only ten days ago. The cold turkey second time around was much easier. I still have cold flashes and uber low energy but I can get through the day. I start my new job in a week and if I had not had the experience of it not even giving me any relief after shoveling the crap in mouth i know for certian I woukd be taking it just to get to work. The first few weeks of work may be a bit difficult but it will be ok. Its my only option God has clearly shown me if I lean on that crutch again it will break. I have to learn to walk on my own

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Wow Jethro, that was powerful. I really appreciate you sharing some of your story. Something similar happened with me at the end of my kratom use, where it stopped working and giving me the relief I wanted. I also look at it like it was totally God helping me to get off of it. I know this hasn’t been easy, and I want to encourage you to keep pushing through during your quit. To me, no high feels as good as living life free and to the fullest. You can do this man.. & God will give you the strength to do what you can’t on your own, all you have to do is ask Him.

You say you were taking 7 g. 4 times a day and still had what draws? Darn! That's still a healthy amount! If I take over seven grams and one dose I feel terrible. I mean I take 6 Or 6 point five.

I have been taking kratom for about 4 years. I unsuccessfully tried to quit cold turkey but could not handle the W/D. Now I have been cutting back on the amount I take. I bought a digital scale to make sure I taper exact amounts. I write down every dose and the time I take it. I am currently taking 2 grams every four hours. I am in the process of cutting down to zero grams slowly by increasing time between doses then taking smaller exact doses after I have stabilized. I hope this helps curb the pain of a massive W/D when I do get down to zero. Thanks for listening.

I didn’t sleep until about Day 4 and it was for about 2 hours. Today I’ve been stuck on the couch, no energy, and the worst depression Ive ever felt. The fact that there’s people out there that scream and cry when you scrutinize kratom and call it a harmless dietary supplement is batshit crazy.

I was on methadone and other substances for 20 years, I stopped cold turkey but a month into the suffering I found Kratom and it worked well I had to do something because I was going crazy from not sleeping and eating, I got relief from it, that was 2019 I’m still taking it, I’m a single father to an 11 year old boy with severe behavioral issues it’s kinda impossible for me to quit pretty much, he drives me crazy sometimes, I still was suffering almost a month into it, it really wasn’t letting up all the way, the only way I could stop the methadone, it was so bad

Hey man, that’s awesome you got off methadone and other stuff. I don’t have experience with taking opiates, but some of the people I’ve loved the most in my life were opiate addicts, so I’ve experienced it that way. I see how kratom is a better option than harder opiates, and I’ve heard of people getting off dope and methadone successfully using kratom. But kratom addiction can still be a slippery slope to climb. It doesn’t effect everyone the same way, and not every one has had such a bad experience with it like I did. I don’t think it should be illegal, and I believe it’s up to each of us to choose if we should take it and if we can use it responsibly.

I've quit and gone back a thousand times, going through withdrawals dang near every week followed by another bender and isolation where I start to lose my mind. The anxiety of doing a simple thing is crippling and I've been in my room so long that it's making me have the effects people get from being in solitary confinement similar to that on a lesser scale. Once I pick up I immediately want to throw it out and have so many times including today. I'll go spend all day on the train and go sell my blood in the middle of withdrawal just to go buy some kratom that I throw out later and then go pick up more to the point where I've gotten scared to throw it out cause I know the next day I'll be fiending and i live in the middle of nowhere. Not to mention I have terrible sciatica and when I quit I have to deal with that getting worse to the point there's been days I lay in bed losing my mind all day

This is really inspiring me! I am 2 weeks cold Turkey from about a 5 year, 25 gpd habit. I tried to taper but kept RE-upping my dosage. I tapered for one week down to about 15 gpd and then quit. The broken up sleep has been the hardest, and the lack of energy and motivation. Kratom was causing me to experience great anxiety, which is something I have never dealt with. My wife and I are planning a 3 week trip to Israel with some friends in October and Kratom is illegal there. The timing is now! I am not craving Kratom, but needing to get my energy, my happiness back as soon as possible! It has been difficult to be productive, little jobs and tasks seem arduous and painful! We are supposed to meet some friends for a week of camping and I am concerned about not being able to sleep and stuck in a trailer! I am praying to get through this to the other side. I have been a Christian for many years and kratom has affected my prayer life in a major way! Thank you for your videos! They are giving me hope!

I got off after years of being on it as well, but it helped that I moved where it’s illegal. I knew it was the universe intervening at that point. My withdrawals weren’t easy. It was the flu x 10. I pushed through it because I have kids and work, but I remember sneezing like 30 times a day, no sleep for about two weeks, and sporadic chills and body pain. However, I felt joy in the midst of the misery too. I would inner cry walk (force yourself to workout through it too). I literally felt overwhelmed with emotion. The idea that I was finally getting off the k and truly substance free made me so grateful. I welcomed the aches because I knew that I was surviving this and those aches were reminders that I’m a human with feelings. Meditate/pray… write things out. It is harder when it’s so accessible so you’ll probably have to get creative in that front. Have someone to keep you accountable.

[@ricknowak4582]

Yes I agree I wish it wasn't so easy to G e T . That's why when I was hooked on percocets. When my prescription ran out, I didn't feel bad at all! Just couldn't sleep at night. But the fact that I couldn't get anymore relieve me of the ......constant craving. That obsession to cop! That's why I believe I need to go into a treatment center where there is no chance of getting it. At least until the severe withdrawals subside. DIG? And I would not take anything in that treatment center. Not to help me sleep or anything.

Hi, thanks for watching.. dude yes my skin did the same thing.. it was a big contributor to me finally quitting. kratom dries us out so much, I was drinking over a gallon of water a day and it was like it did nothing. Thankfully things got better after I quit. I plan to make a video about what helped my skin and hair sometime soon..

[@Spiritsong1111]

After seeing people on here suffering so much I’ve been really careful to only use Kratom in moderation. It helps with my nighttime anxiety, but no more than 4 gr a day for me and only once a day. When I need to stop taking it I switched to a gram of stem and vain for a few days and it takes away any side affects.

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey Laurie, thanks for sharing your experience. I believe that when used responsibly, kratom can have benefits for some people. But I think it’s very important to understand the risks associated with it as well, and that’s why I make these videos. Hope you have a good rest of your weekend :)

[@kennywally]

what did you do for cold sweats? those sweats are brutally cold and persistent ugh

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Dude yes they are brutal!! For me, alternating cold showers and hot baths/showers really helped. The cold showers suck, but it gets your endorphins going, then following it with a hot bath/shower really helped the sweats and restless legs. Lots of epsom salt in the baths was really really helpful, too

[@seekingfreedom9020]

If you're not feeling any withdrawal symptoms 48 hours after using, would you say you're dependent? Like say hypothetically someone takes I don't know 10 g every 48 hours, are they going to become dependent do you think? Just asking I don't take it

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey Freedom, everyone is different but a lot of times it depends on how long and how consistently they use. I’ve known people who can take that amount occasionally and never become dependent. But if it becomes a consistent thing, there’s def a higher risk for dependency. Not having any withdrawals is a great indicator that there isn’t a physical or mental dependency yet, and in my opinion if they are to proceed, they should do so with caution. Because it definitely would be easier to stop now, over stopping when a dependency has set in. I’m here if u have any other questions :)

[@emisha1425]

These were so good to sit and listen to. Thank you for taking the time to talk about all this. I was pretty much accepting I would continue on this path until my life had meaning enough for me to let Kratom go. It really serves as an antidepressant/ time filler/ friend for me. It eats me alive every day though, that this is what I do to get by. I was baptized and started my Christian life 3 years ago and that has made the Kratom addiction even more painful and shameful. I have a strong prayer life but I realize I've never experienced a true feeling of connection or Jesus's presence the way you described when you initially quit. I listen to a lot of testimonies that describe this kind of experience and I want it so bad for myself. I think the Kratom has been blocking my emotions and discerning what Jesus is trying to tell me. I'm very eager to get in this fire now. I have quit once before for 2 weeks on vacation. The feeling was so overwhelmingly heavy and black, I felt that I would never be happy or content again; I tried praying but everything including myself felt so meaningless and unsatisfying, even on vacation! This time I know what I'm up against and I will absolutely use your tips for making things more comfortable and try approaching God differently. I will email you at some point and let you know what happened. This really meant a lot to me. P.S. Im sorry for this humongous paragraph. I just never talk to anyone about this and I am bursting at the seems at the moment. It's such a huge part of my life. Thank you thank you girl

I’m using kratom to get off suboxone. Now I’m worried about taking it

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey, kratom has helped other people get off stronger opiates successfully. And I’ve also heard of people taking suboxone to get off kratom as well, so I guess it goes both ways. I don’t have experience with this personally, but in my opinion understanding the risks of kratom dependency and withdrawals are super important before taking it. The Quitting Kratom subreddit has more info about all of this if u wanna check it out. Wishing you the best..

[@rnbooguff9780]

Take cautiously. It will help with your withdrawals but be sure to start tapering off kratom as soon as you feel comfortable being off sub. And yes exercise as many days a week. Absolutely important. As well as water hydration. You’ll notice if you don’t drink enough water you’ll feel like crap. Also start taking a multivitamin once a day and take the vitamin at a time you would typically want to dose for kratom. That’s part of the mental habit of taking something regularly.

[@ignasty3591]

Man. I jumped off suboxone from 1 mg. I took 1 mg for several months and when I stopped, by day 4 I couldn’t keep going, so I used kratom. It helped me so much. But here I am 1 and a half years later consuming kratom daily. I traded one for the other. It’s a shame. I consume approximately 20 to 25 grams a day and it takes money to do that. I’m very happy but I wish I wasn’t so reliant on the kratom. It doesn’t necessarily do anything for me. I just take it.

I can't sleep I'm extremely irritable sometimes feel like I'm going crazy.. I want to crawl out my skin its very uncomfortable its got me extremely depressed

[@These-nutz]

It isn’t getting better after 3 days?? I’m no dr but maybe find a few subs to get you past the first few days then stop, I’ve been into the hardcore stuff so it doesn’t scare me to much, I’ve been taking for 3-4 years also, I was up to 2-3 ozs a day sometimes,

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey man, that’s awesome you quit and are on day 5 now!!! Going cold turkey isn’t easy, but it gets you free faster. Feeling real crappy on day 3 is completely normal.. my acute withdrawals (the immediate, most intense ones right after quitting) lasted almost 2 weeks from start to finish. It’s different for everyone and I think how much we used and for how long is a factor in the process. I was taking 40-60 per day at my highest. I know It’s not easy, but if you keep pushing through it will subside eventually. You CAN do this!!!

[@grace.at.sunrise]

And everything you’re feeling is completely normal. Our bodies get used to the feelings of peace, calm, happiness, etc that kratom provides while we’re using- so when we quit, the negative feelings like irritability, anxiety, and depression are magnified while our brain & body reregulates and heals. It’ll take a moment for things to recalibrate after addiction, hang in there.

I quit kratom cold turkey, it was hard. I was drinking about 2-3 shots of extract a day for about a year. I recommend stepping it down before quitting. High anxiety, mood swings, sleep apnea(hypnic jerks), the shakes along with worsened hand eye coordination, constant urination, upset stomach, I even had mild hallucinations(nothing crazy but still). Not fun, at all. Some people report zero withdrawls, I had almost every opiate withdrawl symptom there is and felt like I was gonna go crazy from the anxiety and lack of sleep, a borderline hellish experience. Been about a week and I feel much better, I think I have the worst of it behind me. If you're going thru it I assure you it will pass. It just takes a second for the chemistry to balance back out. Best of luck to yall.

[@nathanmitchell2827]

I have always been an advocate for Kratom, but I wonder if we are underselling it’s addictive qualities. I have been taking 1-2 tinctures per day for about 2 years, I want to be done. After 24 hours without any, I feel shaky, and sick. It’s not like other withdrawals, it’s more similar to caffeine withdrawals, but the access makes it tough, I have 3 headshops within 3 miles of me, plus every gas station that sells it. It just takes one second of weakness, and I find myself there again. I am working on it, but we need to quit telling people that this isn’t addictive, it absolutely is, and most Reddit forums have many people saying “it’s non-addictive”. Anything that hits opioid receptors is addictive, and will cause withdrawals.

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey Nathan, I really appreciate this comment. One of the main intentions of this channel is to communicate the risks about this herb.. because many people first start taking it thinking that it isn’t addictive, and it is highly accessible. but I also advocated for it at first for a long time as well.

I personally think tapering is the best way. cold turkey is to uncomfortable and possibly unsafe.I lowered my dose every 4-5 days for about 4-5 weeks and it worked like a charm..

Hey Mike, I agree with you 100%. I did a lot slower of a taper by cutting about once a month, but it was the best way for me. I def couldn’t have gone cold turkey.

Then I began praying and asking for Him to give me the strength that I didn’t have on my own to get through the quit. And I was never let down through all of it. This is why I believe what I believe, to this day. & I learned that it isn’t about going to a church, or believing in a religion- it’s about a personal relationship that we have with our Creator.

@@grace.at.sunrise This was my big question too. I have people to support.

[@jimh8725]

I'm trying to embark on quitting. I have had major weight loss and everybody thinks I'm dying so I was glad to see that it's probably from my kratom abuse. I have kicked many addictions in the past thru 12 step programs so I guess I do have the tools. Thank you for sharing your experience. God bless.

[@steve-tk5zv]

Kratom can turn on you. It turned on me!

[@grace.at.sunrise]

That’s a great way of describing it.. it was great at first, then it turned on me, too!

[@anthonyc7300]

HalleluYHWH HalleluJahova Allelujah. Jesus is King. The time is now. Jesus is King.

[@Rikimaru17]

Thank you for your video, I’m looking forward to not having this monkey on my back anymore! Hope you’re doing well!

I am starting tapering down off kratom .I am in klonopin "benzo" withdrawal an the kratom is making the benzo withdrawal alot worse. She said it when she said kratom causes hypersensitivity. Benzo withdrawal already makes me hypersensitive , with these kratom on top of it is literally killing me. If were to keep taking kratom i think I may literally lose my mind. I have gotten off of it before but this time is more serious. Kratom is so addictive because it's so available .you can buy it everywhere.its not like if your drug dealer moves away an can't get it. It's always there telling you to eat it because it "helps" .for some this Is true. Fir me I'd rather not take it. It is a strong addictive drug more so then what some might think.god is stronger then any drug there is.

I’m finally fed up with kratom. I have taken about 3 table spoons 3 to 4 times a day for 3 years. Been trying and failing at tapering for the past year. Haven’t gone a single day with out it since I really got into taking it. Today I’m finally getting serious about tapering off but I’m really scared. If you see this, I would greatly appreciate some prayer to the God of Abraham please. Congratulations on your faith and sobriety. I can’t wait to no be dependent on this anymore.

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey Alex, so good to cross paths with you. I hear your heart and your desire to be free.. please know that it’s possible and that God will give you the strength that you don’t have in your own. I’d be honored to pray for you- and please feel free to reach out for encouragement and support at the email in my channel bio ❤️

[@alexkenchel]

@@grace.at.sunrise thank you so much, Grace. I can’t tell you how glad I am for coming across this video. Today was a success

[@loveistheanswer5924]

So you are basically saying to me there is nothing else that awaits me then blood, sweat and tears. 😭🙂

[@grace.at.sunrise]

It may take a lot of that for some of us. But there’s much more that awaits on the other side.. like true simple joy, peace, contentment, health, freedom from the reliance upon kratom to make us feel normal, better sleep, improved relationships, stable moods, being able to participate in and enjoy life again, and so much more..

[@datura_boof]

I stopped yesterday im so scared

[@grace.at.sunrise]

Hey man, that’s awesome you stopped yesterday! you can do this- just remember It doesn’t last forever! Feel free to hit me up here in this comment section if u need support or encouragement :)

[@datura_boof]

@@grace.at.sunrise i feel so sick. Literally dyin right now this is way worse than when i tapered a few years ago. Ive been daily for almost 8 years. I quit once but only for 40 days. I just CT from an ounce about every 3 to 5 days. I guess just the length of time has really screwed me up. Ive been laying here sweating out and its only been 24 hours. Feeling like this is just gonna get worse and last forever. I just dont wanna be sick. Im so angry i ever listened to the people who said its not addictive better than coffee etc. Im just so upset and im on my own rn

[@datura_boof]

I know i just need to push through and end this for good. I dont even like taking kratom. I only do it to be well. Im just extremely sensitive to the withdrawal. Maybe im just being a big baby but its actually really bad. I was hospitilized with pneumonia last year and honestly this is kinda just as bad overall and i know its going to last so long.

[@datura_boof]

I am also in the reddit QK discosd

[@grace.at.sunrise]

@@datura_boof you’re going through the worst of it and it’s not going to last forever! Tapering will just prolong the whole process, going cold turkey will get it over with quicker! Hang in there!!

[@silkekarenina9233]

You are wonderful❤ and YES Jesus is the ticket and he safed me too. Thank you so much God bless you

[@briancaban8841]

Try like 2 or 3k mgs cordyceps

[@briancaban8841]

Mix it in your coffee damn near the same effects

[@jimh8725]

As far as a higher power I heard years ago that if you don't believe in God you can break it down to Good Orderly Direction that you get from a Group Of Drunks!

How Kratom saved me from the life of being an actual junkie and costs $120 a month instead of $120 a day and it comes online I don't have to drive to SE D.C. and wait an hour because cpt. Also lets me have a job and a normal schedule, get normal sleep, and genuinely a more normal life. I take two spoonfuls in the morning like people use coffee and don't have to worry for the rest of the day if I'm gonna get sick. But ya, keep demonizing a literal plant lol. Its just crushed up leaves of a plant, no added chemicals or processing it to make it extra strong. Its plant leaves. Maybe work on yourself internally instead of blame some plant leaves.

[@ryangreen3836]

She isn't demonizing it. She's just telling the truth. It helped me quit meth. I'm quitting Kratom now too. It's HARD AS HELL! Don't be a DICK!

[@Mediumdoo]

Kratom saved me..

[@grace.at.sunrise]

I thought it did at first, too :(

[@imcoleyourenot8391]

Kratom saved me then it brought me down into a hole like heroin did. Crazy shit.

[@ganglestank]

A lot of new age stuff is BS for sure but psychedelics took me from atheism to belief and countless others have used them to build or strengthen their connection to god. By saying that you might be keeping someone else from doing the same
